2 20 KVA Uninterrnptable Power Supplies (UPS) <br />Two 20 KVA Utunterruptable Power Supplies (UPS) will be purchased to <br />provide backup power for interoperable communications equipment to <br />provide surge protection for critical equipment, reduce brownout effects and <br />provide a temporary source of backup power until the facility generator <br />activates. This equipment will also provide a tertiary power source in the <br />event the facility emergency generator fails to activate, thus allowing staff <br />the time to affect repairs on the backup generator as necessary without <br />compromising emergency services. 20 KVA Uninterruptable Power Supplies <br />(LIPS) cost approximately $30,330 each for a total of $60,660. <br />3.

The <br />quote also includes project management to ensure proper transition during <br />the phases of construction. The project management expenses will not exceed <br />the $450 per hour maximum explained in the grant guidance. The estimated <br />cost of these services is $56,075. <br />to read as amended hereby: <br />Installation services and project management expenses not requested in the <br />original grant application do to the need to maintain emergency dispatch <br />services while the Orange County Emergency Management Services Center <br />is upgraded.
